3 Safety instructions

Observe the safety instructions and stipulations issued by the vehicle manufacturer and service workshops.

Observe the applicable legal regulations.

DANGER! Explosion hazard

Failure to obey these warnings will result in death or serious injury.

The camera does not release the driver from the duty of care when driving.
The driver remains fully responsible for driving the vehicle, for fulfilling the road safety obligations, and for complying with the statutory road safety requirements.

WARNING! Risk of injury

Failure to obey these warnings could result in death or serious injury.

This camera can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the device in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

Secure the parts installed in the vehicle in such a way that they cannot become loose under any circumstances (sudden braking, accidents) and cause injuries to the occupants of the vehicle.
Do not install parts anywhere in the vehicle where an airbag may open. This can cause injury if the airbag deploys.

Inadequate supply line connections can result in short circuits causing:

• Cable fires
  • The airbag being triggered
• Damage to electronic control devices
• Electrical malfunctions (turn signal, stoplight, horn, ignition, lights)

CAUTION! Risk of injury

Failure to obey these cautions could result in minor or moderate injury.

Secure any parts of the system concealed by the bodywork in such a manner that they cannot become loose or damage other parts or cables, or impair vehicle functions (steering, pedals, etc.).
Always follow the safety instructions of the vehicle manufacturer. Some work (e.g., on retention systems such as the airbag, etc.) may only be performed by qualified specialists.

NOTICE! Damage hazard

To prevent damage when drilling ensure that there is sufficient space on the other side for the drill head to emerge.
Deburr all drill holes and treat them with a rust-protection agent.
When working on the electrical system, the batteries must be separated from the vehicle ground. This applies to the main and additional batteries.

When working on the following cables only use insulated cable lugs, plugs and tab sleeves: • 30 (direct input from positive battery terminal)

• 15 (connected positive terminal, behind the battery)
• 31 (return cable from the battery, ground)
- 58 (reversing light)

Do not use porcelain wire connectors.

Use a crimping tool to connect the cables.
Screw the cable when connecting cable 31 (ground).

- Screw the cable using a cable lug and lock washer to one of the vehicle's ground bolts or

- Screw the cable to the sheet metal body work using a cable lug and a self-tapping screw.

Ensure that there is a good ground connection.

If the battery is disconnected, all data stored in all volatile memory will be lost. Data may have to be reset. Follow the instructions of the vehicle manufacturer in this case. The instructions for making these settings can be found in the operating manual.
When testing the voltage in electrical cables only use a diode test lamp or a voltmeter. Test lamps with a bulb consume too much voltage which can damage the vehicle's electronic system.
When making electrical connections ensure the following:

• They are not kinked or twisted.
• They do not rub on edges.
- They are not laid in sharp-edged through-holes without protection.

Insulate all connections.
Secure the cables against mechanical stress with cable binders or insulating tape, e.g., to existing lines.
Follow the installation and operating manual for the monitor.
Do not open the camera.
Do not pull the cables.
Do not expose the cables to solvents such as benzene for long periods of time.
Do not use the cameras under water.
Install cables far enough away from hot or moving vehicle parts (exhaust pipes, drive shafts exhaust pipes, drive shafts, lights, blowers, heaters, etc.).

7 Technical description

The camera is equipped with a Megapixel sensor and an integrated microphone encased in a waterproof housing and transmits image and sound to a monitor via a connection cable.

The camera provides a rear view of more than 170^ . An optional control switch can be used to switch between a rear view of more than 170^ and a far view of more than 100^ .

• The rear view of more than 170^ shows the area directly behind the vehicle. It is activated when you engage reverse gear.
• The far view of more than 100^ shows the space behind the vehicle as if you were looking through a rear window. It is switched on when you are not reversing.

An additional camera of the same type can be mounted in a different position on a large RV or truck. This enables visual monitoring of areas that cannot be covered by one single camera. An optional control switch can be used to switch between the cameras and between a rear view of more than 170^ and a far view of more than 100^ .
